EV SIR MICHAEL O'DWYER
(Formerly Lieutenant - Governor of
the Punjab)
Sir Michael O'Dwyer, formerly
Lieutenant -Governor et the Pun-
jab, is one of the best -informed
and most accomplished .critics of
Indian affairs.
Recent information he has re -
calved has tended to confirm that
—es he showsin the special ar•
tiel below—Communist activities
in India, such as have lately re-
sulted in riots and deaths, are or-
ganized largely, if not mainly,
from Berlin, •
When the German War Lords, in
April, 1917, transported Lenin "In a

cured the speedy- downfall of Tsarist
Russia, thedefection of Russia •from
the Allied cause and the establish-
meat in Russia of the ruthless Com-
munist tyranny 'under which she is
groaning to -day.
.But effective as the German move
was at the time, the War Lords did
not thea realize—though Ludendorff
ruefuly admitted it later—that it

machine guns; barricades, arsenals of
arms, etc., attending a dangerous revo-
lutionary outbreak.
The outbreak is believed to be dir-
ected - by a Bolshevist leader, three
Cheka organizers from Moscow and
three officers of the Red Army. Doubt-
less German efficiency and discipline
will prevail now, as in past years,
against ' the forces of world revolu-
tion; but some may see in the pres-
ent disorders a retribution for having
let loose on the world the poisonous
propaganda of the Third International.
For to -day Berlin is the advanced
base of Moscow, and from there the
revolutionary propaganda of the Third
International is being effectively dis-
seminated bast and West and in par-
ticular over the British Empire.
Lessons of the 1919 RislnMs
Here It way be noted that Mott Lal
and his son, Jawahir Lai, who openly
and unchecked breach the subversion
of British rule, last Year visited Ber-
lin on their way to Moscow.
The defianti of the law will, it is
hoped by the Berlin conspirators, pre-
pare the way for widespread internal
rising .on the day, sometime in 1982,
If not earlier, when war breaks out
between thelBritish Empire and So-
viet Russia, and the bulk of the Brit -
'eh Itudiau Army is massed in the
Punjab and N. W. Frontier to resist
invasion from the north.
That game was tried iu the spring
of 1919 when the t•evolntiotiaries
stn'oudied their destine behind Gand-
hi's Civil Disobedience. It failed then
because the Internal risings In Bom-
bay, Delhi and the Punjab were sup -

offensive was ready,
But the revolutionaries and their
Bolshevist masters will profit by that
lesson,, and, as .In 1919, the extremist

Ford to Operate
A Nest of Indian Revolutionaries
During the war, If not before, a
strong, colony of Indian revolution-
aries was established in Berlin, and
formed an active and well -subsidised
branch of the German Foreign Office.
Their fuuctton was to keep in touch
with every seditious movement in In-
dia itself, to corrupt Indian troops—
and prisoners—at the front.• and in
India, to incite the Indian Princes—
to whom alluring letters prepared by
Indian experts were despatched over
the signature of the. German Chancel-
lor—to revolt, and generally to pre-
pare the Indian masses for revolution
and rebellion.
Those men are well-known to the
authorities here and India: they are
still active. The collapse of Germany
in the war for a time, frustrated their
designs. The new German govern-
ment had no direct use for them but
it continued to afford its late trusted
agents asylum. Presently, when Bol-
shevism became a world -force, these
',.Indian revolutionaries offered it their
allegiance, which was readily ac-
cepted. Since the war the old nucle-
ons in Berlin has received fresh re-
cruits from India direct and secured
inhere by corrupting some of the
many Indian students net to Germ-
any for tschuical instruction. Some
few of these men are probably genu-
ine Communists; others have joined
the cause tempted by Bolshevist gold;
and their masters see to it that they
earn their pay. They are just the type
the Bolebevis'ts want, possessing
brains and knowledge of India, but
lacking any moral sense or moral re-
straint. Most of them are Madrasis
or Bengalis.
The judicial findings 1n the many
recent conspiracies against the Brit-
ish Government in India prove that
the brains and direction are largely
centred in Berlin.
The mysterious figure of the Ben-
gali, M. N. Roy (a prominent member
of the Third International), flits ac-
ross'the stage between Berlin and
Moscow, working the controls which
produce murders and anarchy in In-
dia; and it is well known that the
German Government has been giving
these Indian revolutionaries—whether
In ignorance of their designs or not—
many facilities for moving from one
headquarters to another.
These frequent strikes and sabot-
